Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.With the recent increases in measured ground motion records for large earthquakes, most notably the 2023 M7.8 Pazarcik earthquake in Türkiye, the potential for pervasive high velocity fault rupture propagation over an extensive fault length has been observed.

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Physics‐based design optimization workflows thread the needle between computational cost limitations and simulation complexity, often compromising between modeling detail and the range of operating design conditions. Multipoint aerostructural optimization of wind turbine rotors has so far been confined to low‐fidelity analyses or to high ...

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 2929-2944, July 2026.ABSTRACT The fatigue and fracture behavior of self‐piercing rivet (SPR) joints between AA6016 aluminum sheets (1–2 mm) and DX54D steel (0.95 mm) was studied under 90°, 45°, and 0° multiaxial loading. Pure shear (90°) loading produced the highest fatigue strength, whereas multiaxial (45°) loading resulted in reduced performance, with pure tension (0 ...

Geometry Analysis of Two Photon Polymerized Microneedles—An Experimental and Simulated Approach
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 22, June 10, 2026.This research investigates the mechanical stability of hollow, two‐photon‐polymerized microneedles for drug delivery. In an experimental setup, a steel stamp gradually compresses 1000 μm‐tall microneedles while recording their force–deformation response.

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...
